Healing Well

Hello, I am Catherine Lavender,

I am a budding flower therapist and a registered Bach Flower Remedy Practitioner. 

See the ‘blog’ on this site and The Healing Well facebook / instagram for updates ~ Links on my ‘contact’ page

I work with flower remedies and make flower essences from wild plants thriving in Northern Ireland.

Flowers and plants call me to make medicines with them, and this has helped me deeply in my personal journey of recovery and healing.

I have been bottling their healing magic for many years so I have an apothecary of hand made flower essences. These are additions to the Bach range of flower remedies plus flower medicines from other producers including Bush flower remedies and Mushroom essences.

I feel like the weaver of the dew drop web making flower remedy blends for myself, my loved ones and clients.

Testimonials

“I have been working with Catherine for a few months this year. She really has been a breath of fresh air & inspiration when I needed it most having been unwell & off work for an extended period. 

Catherine is really good at making you feel at ease & is a good listener. This allows you to open up about what is going on in your life & where you may benefit from some support from the remedies. 

The flower remedies she mixes are then specially tailored for you.  I’d recommend anyone to have a consultation.  I definitely found benefits from using the blends she made for me.”

“I was truly impressed by my experience of Catherine’s flower remedies. 

Catherine made me feel very at ease with her sunny smile and comforting way. She asked me a few questions about what I felt her flower remedies could help me with and was an excellent listener making notes along the way and thinking of flowers and their properties which could be associated with each feeling, emotion or problem. 

Catherine has such empathy and compassion and I felt I could open up to her about how I was feeling. She went through all of the flowers that she would be including in my personalised tincture and explained their properties and how they could support me. 

Catherine sent me my first tincture through the post which arrived with me very quickly along with a letter describing what was in it and each essence’s property and how to take it. After just a few days I started to feel more at ease and less stressed. I continued to take the tincture until our next consultation a few weeks later. We had another chat about how things were going and tweaked a few essences in a new bottle which was sent to me to try. 

I felt that Catherine really listened to me and adapted the remedy to my individual needs.  I can’t thank her enough and will be looking to use her services again as part of my wellbeing journey. Many thanks.”

…

A personalised blend is a bottle made just for you with up to seven flower essences blended together. During a consultation, remedies will be matched to the difficulties you are dealing with. You then take four drops four times a day from your remedy blend bottle, into water/ any drink or straight into your mouth until the bottle is empty.

Healing with flowers is a fascinating process so I will write more in depth about this profound journey.

Wellness can seem elusive or challenging, but the wise woman healer recognises the perfect wholeness of the individual, no matter what is presenting, and asks “instead of seeing problems to be fixed, how can we support what is unfolding here?’

There are opportunities to recognise the unfolding of the soul. Illness and malady are agents of change and transformation. As a budding therapist who is on a personal recovery journey, I trust in listening to our feelings and the body’s voice as well as our stories. Healing is an holistic adventure.

Working with water based remedies (flower essences) invites Nature Herself to support our healing process. Water is the foundation of life.
